  1. Arrived at Smith's Fork Park in Smithville, MO yesterday. Took 160 East from Mesa Verde National Park through Durango and Wolf Creek Pass and crossed I-25 at Walsenburg. Hiway 10 from Walsenburg to La Junta is 70 miles with NO curves. Downhill all the way, though. At one point I timed it and coasted 19 miles without touching the gas or brakes - gotta find some way to have fun on one of the most boring roads in the country! Took Hwy 50 to Dodge City, then 56 through Great Bend to I-70. Through Kansas, I swear I had a 40mph tailwind all the way. Topped off my tanks in CO and topped them off again in MO to check my mileage and the old Volvo got 10.9mpg on the 908 mile trip. I wouldn't have thought that was possible.

     

    I'll be the weekend Camp Host here at Smith's Fork Park until October.

  2. I'm at A&A Mesa Verde RV Park right across the highway from Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado. I signed up to workamp here for the summer, but the Verizon coverage just isn't fast enough to support my company software (still working full time). Headed to a new workamping gig in MO that promises to be a much better arrangement.

     

    This park has new owners as of a week ago. If you're in the area, this is an HDT-friendly park. No shade, but not much in this area anywhere. Very convenient to the National Park.
